THE COMING ELECTION.
FRANK ATKINS.

One of the most important things to be
cared for in prosperous county like
Ford is that good and efficient officers be
elected to fill the various positions OF
trust and fulfill the duties Herewith con
nected.
The conventions have met and were
composed of good men; and true, they
! have done their work faithfully and well
and there are now before the people ask
ing their support candidates for the va
| riOus offices than whom no better could
| be chosen This at least has been the
verdict of the conventions, and it re-
mains with the people with whom rests
the final issue to decide which among
them shall claim the homer and assume
the several trusts.
Every honest voter (and in this country
we have none other will before deposit
ing his ballot decide certain questions
which are all important. First among
| which is: Does the candidate possess the
necessary qualifications himself to per-
form the duties assigned him?
Second: Have we reasonable assur-
ance that he will give his personal at
tention to the duties of his office. and not
leave the work to subOrdinates. with
whose appointment the people have moth
ing to say. The people Of this county
have right to demand personal atten-
ton to duty by men whom they select,
and that the several officers should feel
that they are there to serve the public
and not for personal ends or benefit
alone.
Our interests are for the public at large
but knowing as we do that much annoy
ance and expense will be saved to the
county, and to every one having business
to transact in the several offices by the
election of competent and trustworthy
officers We advise care in the selection
and earnestly trust that no individual or
party interest will prevent the election
of the most competent and worthy Off
GERS. and that their several duties will be
performed during the next term better
than they have ever been in the past.

SALUTATORY.

In assuming the responsible duties OF
editor which we find thrust upon us
somewhat suddenly, we ask the lndul-
gence of our friends and the public gen
erallv. as in our zeal for the public good
we may make some mistakes which
would be inexcusable in those more ex-
perienced. This much we will say that
whatever weak points may appear we
shall ever keep in mind, and work dill
igently for the general good of the city
and county, without reference to either
personal or party interests. except in so
far as we believe they will conserve to
the general good All we ask and be-
tlieye we shall receive, is a kind and pa
tient hearing. a just verdict and the
cheerful support of our friends and the
general public Believing we shall have
| them we make our bow and enter. with
hope and cheer, upon the hitherto I'M
tried duties of editor in chief.
We shall labor to keep the TINES
abreast of the foremost wave Of improve
ment and enterprise.
But little of our time, at present, can
be given to the paper, but a competent
| corps of workers will toll necessarily for
the upbuilding of Ford County, and
Dodge City
Every laubable enterprise shall receive
due consideration.
In politics we are independent having
| no sympathy whatever with scheming
politicians in any party, who buy their
nominations and pay money for votes, as
all such proceedings are degrading in the
extreme, and corrupting to society. We
believe that ardent spirits are curse to
any people who abuse them. and that
the prohibition law should be vigorously
enforced.
The interests of the laboring man, shall
not be neglected his grievances shall be
fairly considered, and means for better
ing his condition discussed.
An educational column each week will
interest the learner.
The interests of the business men
throughout the county shall be our i'll
tereSts.
So we start out fairly understood; de-
termined to labor for the right, giving
praise where praise is due. and keeping
the people posted in all business that con-
Germs them.

PROSPECTS FOR A BOOM.

Under this head the Wichita Republic
makes capital hit, as follows:
The indications now are that real estate
men are depending too much on the
newspapers in begetting another boom in
this city. In fact we have several times
heard the remark: when is Murdock
going to get up another real estate boom,
just as though they were depending en-
tirely on the Eagle in getting up the en-
thusiasm that will bring about another
real estate boom. Of course newspapers
and editors can do their part, but it be
comes somewhat monotonOus after work
ing for years, to see 50 many real estate
men quietly waiting for the press to give
them an increased trads, without any ef-
fort on their part, when fifty dollars
worth of judicious advertising through
the press by each real estate man would
doubtless bring fifty millions of capital
to this city in very few months. Men
wont invest for speculation unless they
meet with an invitation, and if the list Of
bargains are not published, they will
naturally suppose that they do not exist.
A hundred real estate men ought to set
forth in nice display, advertising hun
dred bargains each in every newspaper
in the city and send them broadcast.
Such an advertising as this would give
would cause general interest to be man
ifest not only throughout this part of the
country but throughout the state. The
boom of last year was brought on by
long, persistent and judicious advertising
through the press of this city. A meet
ing of the Board of Trade and of the
real estate men should take this matter
under advisement at the earliest Oppor-
tunity.

MORE SALT!
The Latest Results from the
Hutchinson Salt Well.
Two Hundred Feet Of the Finest
Rock Salt IN the World, and
the End Not Yet.
From the Hutchinson News, 9th.

From the Hutchinson News, 9th.
The work of drilling in the South
Hutchinson salt well continued uninter-
rupted yesterday, and as greater depth
is attained the more evident it becomes
even to the more skeptical, that bonanza
has been struck, awaiting only to be de-
veloped to turn golden harvest into the
Golfers of the owners
At the quitting hour last night the
shaft had reached the depth of seven
hundred and five feet, the last fifty-one
feet being through one solid vein of rock
salt, an analysis of which shows it to
lack but two per cent. of absolute purity.
After drilling into this vein fifty-one feet,
there is no sign of its being exhausted.
This vein, already one hundred and
fifty feet in thickness, with the bottom
still to be found. is the thickest salt vein
in the United States. The number of
lesser veins which have heretofore been
passed through, runs the number up to
two hundred and twenty-five feet of rock
salt, all within seven hundred feet of the
surface
The practicability of mining this salt,
giving to the individual or company do
ing it an unbounded source of wealth,
has already been demonstrated. The
depth at which it can be obtained, the
ease with which it can be reached, the
purity of the product, the location, unex-
celled facilities for distribution and the
territory which can be supplied, all points
to this fast conclusively. The freight on
salt from eastern mines also cuts a big
figure in the case which should not be
overlooked.
The attention already paid to the dis
covcry by eastern capitalists and corpor-
ations can leave but little doubt as to it's
value, and Hutchinson may build high
hopes on the future.

We hear that famous politician OF
our city expressed himself openly on the
streets. that the Labor party is COM
posed of the slums that come up from
the CUTTERS vile and uneducated." How
do our brethren who toll to earn an hon
est dollar like to be so classed? Yet this
same man will grasp your hand and
smilingly say. Stand by the old party
this time" and many pleased with the
smile of flattery will sacrifice principle,
and vote for one whom his better Judge
mcnt says drop.
Vote for the best man regardless of
party. We fail to see any difference be
tween the principles of the Republican
and the principles of the Democratic
Party of to-day. The difference is in
name only.

People in the section Of Tennessee about
Cookvlle are crazy with excitement over
the discovery in cave near there of the
skeletons of sixty men who had doubtless
been robbed and murdered The cave is
situated ON what was known many years
ago as the Kentucky stock road. This was
at the time the principal highway for trad
ers between Kentucky and Georgia or
South Carolina. Stopping places on the
road were few and far between, and many
men, returning after selling their stock,
never reached home. Some years ago IA
skeleton was found at the entrance to the
cave near Cookyile and IA few days ago
party concluded to explore it, Back ON the
mountain side about half a mile from one
Of the stopping places on the old road, the
entrance to the cavern was found A hole,
something like a well going straight down
some b feet was first passed through and
then the cave opened into large caverns
with "A downward course under the mount
ain. At the bottom of the shaft the party
found human bones and with little digging
in the debris that had accumulated at this
point unearthed about 80 skeletons of men
who had been murdered aud thrown down
this hole. Some skulls were found with
bullet holes through them, others being
crushed with an AK or instrument of that
kind. Old citizens now living in the vicin-
ity say that the keepers of these dens
would keep track of the travellers when
they passed through with stock and on their
return they would he almost certain to dis
appear. There is another cave 20 miles
from COokville near one of the ancient inns,
and an exploration of it will also be made
